About me
I'm Denver-based cybersecurity pro with 20+ years in enterprise solutions, architecture, and technical communication. As a former Channel Sales Engineer, I've excelled at explaining complex topics like SASE, ZTNA, firewalls, NIST compliance, and security controls via clear docs, questionnaires, and vendor-neutral evals. I provide precise technical writing/review: improving cybersecurity questionnaires/RFPs, writing agnostic guides/articles/best practices, refining internal docs for clarity/accuracy. 100% vendor-neutral—no promos or endorsements.
